A-O.K.A.D.D.

I think I have a little touch of what I like to refer to as "Adult-Onset Knitting ADD." Or it's possible that I am Queen-of-Run-on-Sentences-in-My-Brain. I really don't know exactly why, but I just want to cast on ALL THE THINGS, and I just want to knit on ALL THE THINGS...but I just can't seem to stay focused...is that ADD? You know, like when I'm knitting a scarf,...

...and I end up deciding to just rip it out the next day and try another pattern...you know, the one I was going to knit if I hadn't gotten distracted by the one I just started...because (well, it's no secret) I am easily distracted. Or maybe I could better describe it by mentioning the sweater that I should be knitting for my son,...

...if I weren't distracted by the one I am knitting for ME! You know, the one where I had to rip out the hem and add 30 more rows, and as I was knitting sleeve two (pictured below) I realized that I really, really should rip out sleeve one and redo it a little less snug.

Or maybe it's like the spinning. You know, the spinning that I started just before I broke my fingers...that I could not spin with a cast, and could barely spin with the brace...?

Oh!, and did I mention that it is SHINY???

This will be my first traditional three-ply, and I am pretty excited! Well, except that I just cast on a pair of socks...

Socks, and I ended up giving away my scarf, so I need to cast on another.

And I lost my favorite mittens, the ones I've been wearing non-stop all vortex long...so I need to cast on another pair of mittens.

I'm most like that when I'm trying to figure out what to knit next: so many plans, so much yarn, so much dithering re what to do next. Except when there's a clear deadline and person something needs to go to (unless I don't have a clue what color.)
